I am trying to produce a 63 page A5 document. The header line of the doc is: \documentclass[a5paper,twoside,10pt]{article} I initially tried the "PDFLatex" button. The resulting output, as displayed in Okular, was awful: the page was A4 (I think) and the bottom half of the text was missing off the bottom of the page (all 63 of them!). After a lot of trial and error, I tried Kile to perform Latex -> dvi | dvips. On a detailed examination of the PS file there was the following: %%BeginPaperSize: a4 /setpagedevice where { pop << /PageSize [420 595] >> setpagedevice } { /a4 where { pop a4 } if } Eventually, to get sensible output, I had to run dvips manually: dvips -t a5 -O 0cm,0cm pamphlet.dvi to get anything like the expected output. The obvious cure to this problem would seem to be to add these extra options to dvips (or whatever) when the papersize is anything other than letter or A4 Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. see the description above 2. 3. When non-default paper sizes are used: kile needs to be informed Kile needs to modify processing scripts accordingly. configuration Linux version 3.11.0-23-generic CPU: Intel i5-2320 CPU @ 3.00GHz 6GB ram I am using an Ubuntu derived distro: NetRunner 13:12
Dear Bug Submitter, This bug has been stagnant for a long time. Could you help us out and re-test if the bug is valid in the latest version? I am setting the status to NEEDSINFO pending your response, please change the Status back to REPORTED when you respond. Thank you for helping us make KDE software even better for everyone!
Update: The symptoms are masked using the package 'vmargin'. Running LaTeX (via kile) still results in a header line in the PS version: "%%DocumentPaperSizes: a4" followed further down by: %%BeginPaperSize: a4 /setpagedevice where { pop << /PageSize [595 842] >> setpagedevice } { /a4 where { pop a4 } if } ifelse %%EndPaperSize end %%EndSetup which does not give me any confidence that the underlying issue has been addressed. I still cannot get the booklet to print two pages to a sheet of A4 paper. My suspicion is that there are other hidden hints in the PS and the PDF to the print drivers that the document is really A4. In summary, I can get it to look pretty on a screen but not in print. The issue could be with kile or LaTeX and/or PDFLaTeX.
Not "FIXED"! Need some guidance where to look next.
